Product Description

Eastman Solus™ 2100, Food Contact performance additive is designed as a rheology control additive for high solids 2K coatings. It provides improved flow and leveling, faster dry to touch time, and improved polishing. It is soluble in a wide range of solvents and compatible in most high solids coatings systems. When Solus™ 2100, Food Contact performance additive is dissolved in appropriate solvents a clear, colorless solution is produced. It is a dry, free-flowing powder that is convenient to handle.

Eastman Solus™ 2100, Food Contact performance additive is based on cellulose, one of the most abundant natural renewable resources. The calculated approximate bio-content value of 36% for Solus™ 2100, Food Contact was determined by using six bio-based carbon atoms per anhyroglucose unit divided by the total number of carbons per anhyroglucose unit. Although the value reported is not specifically measured for bio-carbon, it can be estimated based on typical partition data.

This product is manufactured, stored, handled and transported by Eastman under conditions adhering to current Good Manufacturing Practices for food contact applications. This product meets requirements for use in certain food contact applications under regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (21 CFR), European Commission (Regulation 10/2011) and the Switzerland Ordinance of the FDHA on materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (817.023.21, Annex 10).
